PLAYER GUIDE
One event. Your best guess at its year.
1. Guess the year. Read the event, then use the timeline, ±100/10/1 buttons or type a whole year. Select BCE for years before the common era. There is no year zero.
2. Lock it in. Your first submitted guess is final. There are no lives, no timer and no early elimination. All five Daily events can be finished. Every answer reveals its year, your distance, points, explanation and source.
3. Closer earns more. Exact years and guesses inside an explicitly accepted approximate range earn 100 points. Otherwise points fall evenly to zero over 50 years for events from 1900; 100 years for 1700–1899; 150 for 1000–1699; 250 for 1–999 CE; and 500 for BCE events. These are fixed bands, not changing ages. Three years away from a modern event earns 94 points. Only an exact year is called a Bullseye.
4. Finish the Daily. Each event scores out of 100. The final Daily score is the average of all five event scores. Only completed Dailies count toward stats, Profile and Friends. Everyone uses the same Sydney-date set, resetting at midnight Australia/Sydney. Guesses, answers and event snapshots save as you go.
5. Practise in Unlimited. A shuffled 330-event bank supplies free ongoing practice, excluding today’s Daily events and avoiding repeats until your eligible pool is exhausted. Topic/period changes apply to the next event. Your practice session resumes in this tab and stays separate from Daily/cloud records. Cloud saves require activation on Account.
